This is where people in Kent have died with coronavirus

New statistics have been released which show where in the county people who have died of coronavirus were from.

The figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show confirmed deaths in Kent where Covid-19 was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor.

Broken down by geographical statistical areas, the data shows deaths which occurred between March 1 and April 17, and were registered by April 18.

The area with the highest number of recorded deaths is Cliftonville West, in Thanet, which has seen 13 people die as a result of the virus.

At the opposite end of the scale, the new figures - which can be seen below - reveal a number of areas where no one has lost their life to Covid-19, the majority of these being rural parts of the county.

The ONS said that a small number of deaths had been reallocated between neighbouring areas to protect confidentiality.

The figures exclude deaths of non-residents and are based on February 2020 boundaries.

Statistics released earlier this week revealed a substantial leap in the number of known Covid-19 deaths in Kent - as reporting accuracy increases to include non-hospital settings.

The figures showed there were 542 deaths attributed to the virus across the county up to April 17, a number 37% higher than the NHS figure for the same period, which counted only deaths which happened in hospitals.
